Walnut Canyon National Monument

17 minutes away from NAU and just outside Flagstaff.

There are several remnants of cliff dwellings and several you can see in the distance.

There’s a steep climb down with lots of stairs to a loop around about 1 mile total.



The far side was more forest and the start is a little more desert.




There trail is often on a cliff with a steep drop off that was scary for Rupert. I didn’t realize he was scared of heights. I am too but he was more sensitive. Proud of him for continuing the whole way.


 Rupert and Beatrix both earned their junior park badge just like at the Grand Canyon last month. Such a great program and we always learn so much!

This has been on my Arizona travel list for years so it was wonderful finally coming. We even used Rupert’s National park pass to get in free!
